A couple of days ago we had the girls from set design and illustrating duo Jiggery Pokery, Anna Lomax and Lauren Davies, to talk to us at Uni. It was really interesting hearing about their work and life. They both graduated from Brighton Uni a couple of years ago with degrees in Illustration. They didn't get on too well with their tutors and sounds like they were criticized quite a lot, but it's nice to know that tutors are not always right as they are doing really well for themselves now and getting to the point where they are having to turn down work. The main bulk of their projects are to do with art direction, set design and prop making. They have a very kitsch eclectic style and love bright bold colours and vintage finds. They spend any spare time scouring one pound shops, vintage markets and charity shops for anything that might be of visual interest.
They jointly worked for Androgony Magazine, Plastique Magazine and seperately for client such as Topshop. They also do many personal p
rojects just for fun and to build up their portfolios.
I really love the way they work, they have worked really hard to get where they are working for free and going the extra mile to make good impressions.
They have an exhibition coming up this weekend starting Sat 10th October in Brighton at the Artist Residence Hotel Gallery. Think it would be a good one to get to but if you can't make that they are bringing it to London at some point to. Will keep you updated.
